Crew's Ideal Passengers: 30-something, Male... and Single?

A survey just released by Skyscanner.com polled more than 700 flight attendants from 85 countries to find out how they define the perfect passenger…and what pisses them off.

Do you snap your fingers to get a flight attendant's attention, demand extra blankets, or stand up before the seatbelt light goes off? You may have landed yourself in a flight crew's burn book. A survey just released by Skyscanner polled more than 700 flight attendants from 85 countries to find out how they define the perfect passenger…and what pisses them off. So don't go overstuffing the overhead bin, talking through the safety demonstration, or insisting on specific beverage brands.

On the flip side, you're considered an ideal passenger simply by being a single, thirtysomething male on your holiday. (No, the survey wasn't about the most eligible passengers, though being handsome probably doesn't hurt, either.) Surprisingly, the survey respondents said they prefer working with economy passengers than premium ones.
